Translation workshops
The programme of the Friday Circle in the third term will focus on the theme of translation, including discussions not only on the (im)possibility of translation, but also on the practice of translating Hungarian into English, and English into Hungarian, although practice and discussion will not be limited to these two languages. We regard all translations as works in progress!
The first text to be discussed is a translation into English of János Háy’s ‘Petőfi híd’ (Petőfi Bridge) by a current final year student, who translated this short prose piece as part of a final year language project on translation and translation criticism. PDF files of the original text and the translation are available on request.
We will circulate the programme of the Friday Circle for the third term as soon as it is ready. Suggestions for texts and/or translations that you would like to discuss are welcome.
